Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a high-pressure press for holding articles to be pressed.
  • the invention relates to the cooling of a motor provided in the high-pressure press.
  • High-pressure presses are often used for the densification of powdered or cast materials, such as e.g. turbine blades, to achieve elimination of material porosity.
  • the pressing is applied to an article placed in the press in order to substantially increase the service life and the strength of the article, in particular the fatigue strength.
  • Another field of application is the manufacture of products, which are required to be fully dense and to have pore-free surfaces, by means of compressing powder.
  • An article to be subjected to treatment by high-pressure pressing is positioned in a load compartment of a pressure chamber. After loading, the chamber is sealed off and a pressure medium, either a liquid or a gas, is introduced into the pressure chamber and the load compartment thereof. The pressure and temperature of the pressure medium is then increased, such that the article is subjected to an increased pressure and an increased temperature during a selected period of time.
  • the heat is usually provided by means of a heating element or furnace arranged in a furnace chamber of the pressure chamber.
  • the pressures, temperatures, and treatment times are dependent on factors such as e.g. the material properties of the article to be treated, the field of application, the required quality of the treated article, and so on.
  • the applied pressures and temperatures may typically range from 200 to 5000 bars and from 300 to 3000 °C, respectively.

  • the pressure medium in the chamber may be circulated. This circulation may be performed with our without mechanical aids. When used without mechanical aids, heat convection and re-distribution is provided due to existing or promoted temperature differences, as e.g. outer wall heating or cooling. Thus, the circulation is based on the observation that cooler fluid flows downwards and warmer fluid rises.

  • the pumping device is arranged to provide a circulation of fluid within the housing passing the portion of the housing wall and the motor, and back to the portion of the housing wall during operation of the motor.
  • the pumping device circulates the fluid which provides a transfer of cold from the portion of the housing wall to the motor for cooling the motor.

Therefore, any devices such as e.g. auxiliary motors provided for the rotation of the pumping device, the auxiliary motors being independently operated compared to the motor, may be omitted.
